Extol, laud (6)
I believe the answer is:
praise
I believe this is a double definition.
'extol' is the first definition.
(I know that extol is a more specific form of the action praise)
'laud' is the second definition.
(I know that laud is a more specific form of the action praise)
(Other definitions for praise that I've seen before include "Be aware of (something)" , "Speak well of" , "Aspire (anag)" , "Congratulate" , "Approve and commend" .)
